It was slightly overcast the entire ride and of course the sun came out when I got home. I'm loving that countryside you ride through - all of it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I add a touch of contrast and vibrance to make them a bit more pleasing. 1 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really makes the gloss finish SHINE! 1 ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird. The third color isn't a good design choice IMHO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to be honest when I saw the 2020 GT at the N.Y. bike show😡 the black-blue 2119 colors suddenly grew on me😉 I probably wouldn't even consider the 2020 GT in it's present color. I'm still on the lookout for tin and plastic for my GT to paint it red, seeing how I'm planning on keeping the GT for a spell. He who dies with the most toys wins.

I am really curious to see the finished bike, I really like a bike that is unique and stands out from the masses, even if it is just subtle changes. ***2015 Candy Red FJ-09*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
